COMMUNITY CENTRE IN GEYLANG SERAI

Inche Rahmat Bin Kenap asked the Minister for Defence whether there is any provision for the construction of one or more community centres in the Geylang Serai Constituency and when construction will commence.

The Minister for Defence (Mr Lim Kim San): Mr Speaker, Sir, I think the Member for Geylang Serai will be pleased to hear that planning for a new rural type community centre at Jalan Pasir in the Geylang Serai district is at the advanced stage now. The Public Works Department has been commissioned to undertake the construction and it is expected that by mid-August actual construction will begin. The estimated date for completion would be two months after August.
